Majestic views of the Colorado Rockies as seen from Bierstadt Lake during the summer morning hours in Rocky Mountain National Park

It was another beautiful and dramatic sunrise that we have had

I was thinking where I would photograph the sunrise and thought that the bridge over a frozen South Fork Kishwaukee River and the peachleaf willow tree would be a good place to set up the tripod

I started my hike with camera gear and tripod in hand and it wasn't long before I began seeing some of the wildflowers I would be photographing this morning

The early morning sunlight brightens the flowers from the blue vervain plant at Wildflower Park
